We're not laughing because he got hurt...it would be just as funny if the guy only got bruised by the incident. We're laughing because it's a ridiculous situation.

I remember the last time I went skiing...it was pretty much the last day of the season. Everyone was skiing back and forth across the big slope, but since we were getting ready to leave, I took a deep breath, pointed my skis straight down the hill, and tucked in. I was going screaming fast, straight down, when I hit a bump a bit too big to handle, and wiped out all over the hill. Skis, poles, and gloves were flying everywhere. The whole hill was laughing, and so was I, as I took the walk of shame to gather all my gear. I had tried to do something beyond my skill, and got owned.

It's not the pain, it's the action, that make it funny. A truck squashing someone against a wall at 5 mph isn't fun to watch, but a huge NASCAR crash is, even though the chances of someone getting killed or hurt are much lower.

Ow - holy crap
WTH would you not practice something like that on mats first?? It'd still be bad - but you might have a few teeth left.

Laughing was my first reaction. Only a complete idiot would attempt their very first forward flip on a hardwood floor.

bah...stop talking about this as if it is the Hidenburg disaster or something. It's so ridiculous in nature and the effects probably so temporary (unless he snapped his neck) that laughter is a good outlet for the shock.


I once got hit in the face with a boat (yes a boat) and I thought it was funny. *


*and so did the dozens and doozens and dozens of people that saw it happen. :D

i broke my leg and i kept on cracking jokes to the guys in the ambulance and firefighters on my way to the hospital. at the hospital the cop questioning me had some laughs too!! it was my femur too, broke in half!!!.
